EASTMAN FAIR
OCTOBER 20=25
Series of Brilliant Attractions
and Special Days to be
Observed.
In another column appears an
advertisement announcing the
fourth annual Dodge County
Fair, which will be held in East
man on Oct. 20-25. Indications
are that the Fair this year will
surpass any exhibition staged in
that city heretofore.
Despite poor crop conditions,
the big agricultural buildings will
be crowded to capacity with
splendid showings of the pro
ducts of South Georgia’s fertile
soil. Largely increased premiums
have been offered in the Live
Stock Department, and the ex
hibits of pure-bred cattle and
hogs promise to be especially
fine. All branches of woman’s
activities and boys’ and girls’
club work will be well represent
ed.
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey will
visit the Fair on Tuesday, Oct.,
21st. This day has been set aside
as a holiday for the schools of
Eastman and Dodge county, that
the students may attend the Fair
and meet the Governor. In view
of the fact that this will be one
of the very few fairs of the state
to be honored by the presence of
the chief executive, an unusually
Urge and representative attend
ance will in all probability be in
evidence.
On Thursday returned soldiers,
sailors and marines and Confed
erate veterans will be guests of
the Fair management. A big
parade, commanded by Major
Joel B. Mallett, former Adjutant
General and Selective Service Of
ficer for Georgia, will move
through the streets to the Fair
grounds during the morning.
Friday will be “Fraternal Or
der Day”, the program being in
charge of the local Shriners. A1
Sihah Temple, Macon, will be on
hand with its band and patrol,
and Shriners from this entire sec
tion will be present in great num
bers to participate in the fun.
The amusement and entertain
ment features have been well
provided for. The midway at
tractions will be furnished by the
Metropolitan Shows, one of the
leading carnival companies of the
country. Horse races over a fast
half-mile track will take place
each afternoon; while the latest
and most elaborate innovations
in fireworks will be shown every
night.
Wednesday, Oct., 22nd, is
“Circus Day”, when Sparks
World Famous Shows will pre
sent two performances at the
Fair. The customary parade,
enlivened with music by two
calliopes and three brass bands,
will be given on the streets of
Eastman at noon of that date,
terminating at the Fair grounds.
Many other events have also
been arranged for the pleasure
of the thousands of visitors who
will come to the Fair during the
week.
Very low round-trip fares have
been authorized by the United
States Railroad Administration
to Eastman on all lines.
Hogs vs Cotton.
We cannot depend alone on
cotton in weevil infected terri
tory for our money crop, so in
addition to tobacco, peanuts, etc.,
for sale as a cash crop, we must
grow more feed stuff and market
it on four feet—hogs and cows.
There is no better hog for our
section than the HAMPSHIRE,
known as the Mortgage Lifter.
They are Quick, Prolific Mothers,
Heavy Milkers, best by test in
Agricultural Colleges and Boys
and Girls Feeding Contests. Fine
grazers, develop early and fat
ten at any age—in fact, the Ideal
Hog for this section of Georgia.
We have Registered Hamp
shires from suckling pigs to
grown hogs for sale at all times.
Buy a pair of pigs and raise them
yourself, or buy a sow or gilt
bred for Spring litter or Fall lit
ter or get a boar and breed to
your grade sows.
Call on or write
